How CCBHCs Can Leverage Co-Response to Streamline 988 Adoption

On July 16, 2022, the 988 crisis hotline became fully operational, reflecting a commitment to expanding access to crisis intervention services to all Americans.

CCHBCs are uniquely positioned to serve as a key driver in 988’s success. Their standardized crisis and mobile response capabilities can decrease the burden on healthcare staff and systems, law enforcement officials, and 911 operators.
